Most Read

Nolan Gerard Funk is an up-and-coming star and emerging heartthrob, and we were lucky enough to sit down with him for an exclusive interview. Nolan is the star of Nickelodeon's newest movie, Spectacular!, a musical featuring catchy pop songs and amazing choreography. Nolan Funk Hunk is multitalented, and his combination of athleticism (a former gymnast!), hotness, and singing talent is more than enough reason to check out Spectacular! on Monday, February 16, at 8 p.m. ET on Nickelodeon.

NGF: You can expect a good show, a lot of singing, some dry humor, and a pretty good message.

17: What was it like making Spectacular!?

NGF: It was so much fun to make. It was one of the most fun and creative things I've done yet. The rehearsals and auditions were great. I got to do three weeks of rehearsals and it was really exciting. I love my character and I really believe in the project.

17: How long did it take from start to finish to filmSpectacular!?

NGF: I would say the shooting process was about two-and-a-half to three months.

17: We bet your history of gymnastics helped out! When did you start doing gymnastics?

NGF: I think I started toddler gymnastics when I was around 3 or 4, and I began taking it seriously when I was 6.

17: What made you want to do it?

NGF: It was already in the family. My sister was really talented. There's a lot that you get out of it. It's exhilarating and has a heightened sense of competition.

17: Did you consider gymnastics a hobby?

NGF: No, I wanted to go to the Olympics. I struggled with some foot problems early on and I ended up breaking my foot.
